Awesome Vanilla JS libraries

As I mentioned here and here, I’ve been building my apps with the Django + Bootstrap + Unpoly combo. I’m still pretty happy and productive. Unpoly allows me to keep my Django development as it should be (basically views, urls and forms) and make them “feel” like an SPA.

I mostly use native HTML components but, sometimes, a sprinkle of JS is needed. In those cases, I rely on some libraries I found digging around.

I’ll keep this post updated to what I find in the future. For now, I’ll list what’s on my toolbelt:

• Datepicker:
  • Vanilla JS Datepicker - Live Online Demo
  • Air Datepicker
• Input Mask: Maska - Live Demo
• WYSIWYG Editor: TinyMCE - Full Featured Demo
• Hypermedia: Unpoly - Demo

I’ll probably have a need soon for an auto-complete component. There are ways to implement it with Unpoly but I don’t know if it will fit to my use case.

Let’s keep web development simple. :)
